Is your laundry so shockingly boring & dreaded that you zone out like a space cadet? It doesn’t need to be: snappy choices can help you get your laundry done in a fast, convenient & interesting way.

Get Snappy:All of the stainless steel front loader washing machines at Snap Laundromats, including the huge Maxi and Mega washers, take less than 25 minutes to finish! The unique benefit of using a quality laundromat is that you can save time by loading multiple washing machines simultaneously – whites in one, darks in a second machine, and dedicates in another – so that the entire week’s worth of laundry is all done at once.

Make Life Ezi:You don’t even need to find cash or detergent to use at the laundromat anymore! Snap Laundromat at Taringa has internet-enabled the washing machines and dryers, so you can conveniently use your smart phone to pay and activate all machines using Eziwash. Both Brisbane laundromats are also connected to an automatic detergent dosage system, providing high quality detergent free of charge!

Be WiFi’ed: Available 24/7, use the time effectively by connecting to the free & fast internet WiFi. Study, research, email or google – while the machines do all the hard work – perfect for all ambitious space cadets!

And using Eziwash is Ezi! You simply access the service by first registering an account and logging into the Eziwash website. No downloads are required. Top up your account using the PCI compliant credit card payments available through payment provider Ezidebit. Then operate any of the internet enabled machines using your mobile phone or tablet.

“It’s no longer a drama if you don’t have any cash handy to wash your doona,” Ian said. “Laundromats are very traditional, relying on coin payments for services.

“We felt it was time to evolve the way our laundries accepted payments, so that we could better meet the demands of today’s online and mobile consumers.”

“Today, when I watch customers at the laundry using this technology so naturally and as part of their every day life, I can’t help but think how long it has taken for something so simple to be a reality. Digital innovation can provide a new level of payment convenience, and it’s exciting to be a part of it.”

Eziwash provides payment convenience in an age where technology and smart phones are part of everyday life. Many industry trend sources confirm that Australian consumers are increasingly opting for digital payment methods over cash. See the report released by the Australian Payments Clearing Association.

You can load up to 23 kilograms of laundry in the Mega washer at our Paddington store, and as an express machine it’s all done in just 23 minutes.

To save time, many people choose to load multiple washing machines simultaneously – whites in one, darks in a second machine, and delicates in another – so that the entire week’s worth of laundry is all done at once.

The express dryers are also significant time savers.

The Dexter Laundry dryers have the reputation for being the industry’s best performing dryers. A standard load of washing can be dried in less than 30 minutes, compared to household dryers that can take well over an hour to dry.So, don’t be an Ekka clown!
